You really are a racist. You lump Christians all together in one group and then come to the remarkable conclusion all Jews are of one mind and soul. There are as many different Jewish sects as different branches of the Catholic church. There are more variations among the Chinese people including language than what is found in western European culture. You talk about black persecution but what about the thousands of blacks that die at the hands of blacks every year in America? Evading reality does not make you a champion of any cause. If you want hate crimes against Christians go here keston.org - I suggest the Uzbekistan article NOW YOU ARE BACK ON IGNORE

You will find Jewish persecution, Chinese persecution, Japanese persecution, Black persecution, communist persecution and red baiting, atheist persecution- the history of the US is a history of persecution Please read the following definitions and see if you want to reconsider your statement: persecute: To oppress or harass with ill-treatment, especially because of race, religion, sexual orientation, or beliefs. oppress: To keep down by severe and unjust use of force or authority harass: To irritate or torment persistently. Yes, you can say Blacks were persecuted. You can, also, make a case that, for a brief period of time, both Japanese-Americans during WWII and communists during the McCarthy era were persecuted, but you'll have a hard time making convincing arguments for other groups.
